Abstract:
An exploration of animal attachments that, in human terms, can only be called love. Take, for instance, the dog living in a wildlife sanctuary who treats an orphaned leopard cub as his little beloved sister. Or the Dalmatian who mothers an abandoned newborn lamb - a lamb who just happened to be covered in spots like her adopted mama.
